Public bug reported: After installing Ubuntu 12.04 and the drivers for my MFC-7420, I had the same symptoms as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brother-cups-wrapper- laser/+bug/914150
I then went to http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-7420, downloaded the LPR and the cupswrapper .deb packages and installed them with dpkg -i --force-all brmfc7420lpr-2.0.1-1.i386.deb cupswrapperMFC7420-2.0.1-2.i386.deb After that, printing worked. This is strange, as I believe that Ubuntu ships the exact same packages, but somehow installing the original packages appears to have fixed the problem. ** Affects: brother-cups-wrapper-laser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: brother laser mfc-7420 printer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to brother-cups-wrapper-laser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132154 Title: Printer drivers for Brother MFC-7420 don't seem to work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brother-cups-wrapper-laser/+bug/1132154/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
